Veramaris: Ian Carr and Yann Le Gal

What happens when two global biotech giants team up to tackle one of aquaculture’s biggest bottlenecks? You get Veramaris - a joint venture between DSM and Evonik that’s producing high-potency omega-3s from algae, not fish.

In this episode, Tony sits down with Ian Carr and Yann Le Gal from Veramaris to unpack how industrial-scale fermentation could be the key to unlocking more predictable, scalable, and sustainable feed nutrition for the seafood industry.

We dive into:

• Why the supply of EPA and DHA is critical - and maxed out from traditional sources

• How algae oil offers pricing stability in a volatile market

• What it took to scale a fermentation plant in Nebraska
• And what new big data from Manolin reveals about omega-3 nutrition and farm performance at scale

Whether you’re a feed miller, farmer, investor, or just trying to make sense of the evolving aquafeed landscape, this is an episode packed with insights on innovation, sustainability, and the future of aquaculture.
